Orchid121480 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 BTW, of the 200 made, GC got 20 total... 8 went to select stores in the US, 12 to the distribution center in Kansas City for web order distribution. I am a director of sales for their enterprise and even I couldn't get any help on this guitar. Had to hit the refresh button just like yall. VERY high demand. Will sell out today. Good luck out there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck out there! Thanks for the info, hoping my preorder is one that is making its way or has made its way to KC for web order distribution. I wonder if 8 went to stores because there were only 12 preorders? Edited June 22, 2021 by depechebaseball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you saw the listing at 9pm PDT, did it have a "Reserve Now" order button but say "This item is backordered but is available to reserve now. " ? That is what it reads currently at 4:30am EST. Wondering if this was always the status or it changed from earlier. Thanks! Edited June 22, 2021 by fanofzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8/12 decision was made months ago, before anyone started calling around to secure them and long before any preordering was possible.

This morning I'm going to contact our folks at the office to see how many orders have been placed and if there are any left for customers. I'm sort of surprised that all 12 aren't already gone, TBH.

Gotcha, I would think Guitar Center would honor the preorders first based on the first come first serve method based on the allotment received, crossing my fingers. I reached out to my SA to see if there are any updates on his end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalex Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well I think I've managed to secure one from from musicians friend. Thankfully I was working nightshift last night so was lucky enough to see them right when they showed up on the site. Fingers crossed it goes through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a few weeks ago . They said no lefties were produced and the run was sold out . but i appreciate your kind words . You never know if they might do a second 200 piece run of his blonde J 150 !

JC Members 2 4 posts Posted just now have you actually searched for it? I called all the retailers listed on the Gibson website last Friday and found one who had one for me. Also, this morning you could still order it on the Gibson website, in Europe there were also dealers who still had some as of this morning... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to check out NOW on Guitar Center with the Reserve button, it won't add it to your cart. I was able to check out and get an order number at 4:30am EST. Maybe I reserved one successfully?? Can you see the 12 order numbers on the internal screen? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatgumbino Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Man, I wish I could have pulled one of these off. I love the look of the J150 with the unbound neck and headstock. I'm also not 100% sold on the torrefied tops, so the thin finish on a traditional top is very intriguing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ80 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) BIG thanks to Orchid for the notice of GC availability last night. I've been following this guitar for a long time now, already own a blonde J-150 after failing to find a sunburst example after years of searching. I've been reading the updates on this forum after Gibson has provided very little info beyond the "June 2021" release mention. Saw June 21 was the date here, but after checking all day, wasn't able to find it available with any of the usual distributors. As I was heading to bed, I decided to search one more time. Happened across Orchid's post from a half-hour prior about GC availability and sure enough, there it was. With just 200 made and a signed label, I had to pull the trigger and was fortunate to have my order confirmed by GC in email, supposedly shipping soon. Had I not looked once more and seen Orchid's post, I would have been out of luck. I've been playing guitar since school years over two decades ago and Oasis/NG have been hugely influential to me. Have been to many Oasis and NGHFB shows, including a special acoustic-only show with Noel and Gem in LA where this guitar was played. Have been through several Epiphone EJ-200s through the years, once all I could afford. Then, my used blonde J-150. Now, feeling fortunate to have the ability to own the guitar I've wanted for a long, long while. Best of luck to everyone still looking for an allocation, my brother just canceled his from GC after deciding its a bit too dear at the moment, so possibly one is now available. Though, I don't even see the model listed on GC's website anymore. Edited June 22, 2021 by RJ80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
